Nutty Paleo Porridge (grain free)
Serves: 2
Prep time: 20 minutes Soak time: overnight Cook time: 5 minutes
1/4 cup raw almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup brazil nuts
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 Tbsp whole flaxseeds (linseeds)
1 cup filtered water or milk of choice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamon
To soak the nuts and seeds overnight, place all except for the flaxseed into a bowl and cover with filtered water. Leave the bowl covered at room temperature overnight (approximately 8 hours). The next day, drain and rinse well and they are now ready for use. If you want to get ahead and batch soak, combine enough nuts and seeds for up to 3 days worth of porridge, soak, drain and rinse, then store in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days, rinsing well before using.
To make the porridge, place the soaked nut and seed mix in the bowl of a food processor and add the flaxseeds, liquid and spices. Leave to stand for 10-15 minutes to allow the flaxseed to gel up, then blend until the nuts and seeds resemble coarse crumbs within the thickened liquid. At this point the porridge should be the ideal consistency, so its just a matter of warming it up.
Place the porridge into a pan set over low heat and stir continuously until the porridge is warm (take care not to boil or you’ll destroy the activated enzymes and nutrients and alter the consistency). If the porridge is looking a little thick adjust it by adding a little more liquid.
Pour the porridge into a serving bowl, sprinkle with your choice of toppings and serve immediately, while warm.
